I'm repairing a pair of Calrec PQ 1161 modules, and need some switch parts. Does anyone know who made the pushbutton 'EQ in' and 'polarity' switches? I've seen reference to dialstats etc but these switches have staggered pins, unlike anything I've seen from them. Pictured below. Any info is good, better if you have a couple laying around! Thanks

As Gareth says, they are Jeanrenaud. They were in quite common use late 1970s early 1980s but obsolete for a long time. I happen to have a couple but they have been rolling around in my toolbox since 1985 so probably broken now anyway. The lampholder part was always 'suspect' and uses a tiny bi pin lamp. like the Isostat/dialistat switches they have a unique pin layout and were not 'second sourced' If yours are pCB mounted you are in trouble, otherwise some creativity with ALPS SPUJ (if that is the larger one) or equivalent could be a way to go.
